Unit 1- Principles of Anatomy and Physiology Functions of the skeletal system There are five main functions of the skeletal system. To protect‚ to support‚ movement‚ cell production and storage. The skeletal system protects delicate and important organs from harm. An example of this is the ribcage. This protects your heart and lungs from anything that tries to harm it. Another example is the brain. The brain is protected by the skull. The skeletal system also provides support for the body as it

our body is exactly offset by their loss. When acid–base balance occurs‚ the pH of body fluids stays within normal limits. Stopping a reduction in pH is the main problem‚ because our body produces a variety of acids during normal metabolic tasks. 2. Why does maintaining fluid balance in older people require a higher water intake than in a normal‚ healthy adult under age 40? Water encompasses 55% in elderly people and is vital for cellular homeostasis and life. With respect to heat stress‚ water

2. Compare the development of lymphocytes with other formed elements. B lymphocytes develop in red bone marrow‚ T lymphocytes develop in red bone marrow and mature in the thymus; the other formed elements develop in red bone marrow 3. What is erythropoiesis? Which factors speed up and slow down erythropoiesis? Erythropoiesis is the process by which red blood cells (erythrocytes) are produced. If you lose a lot of blood‚ erythropoiesis will speed up; anemia can cause erythropoiesis to slow down
